Leuk voor de verzameling en werkt echt

First thing to note is that I paid only £15 for the 'Mappy' unit. That's a bargain, and it's a great fun little 1983 arcade game from Namco, makers of Pac-Man. The other titles cost up to £30, so I don't think I'll be buying any more. More on those, later.This is a neat miniature arcade cabinet. The coin-slot door is one big on/off push-button. Power comes from 4 x AA batteries or a USB lead (not included). The joystick and buttons on the control deck all work. The stick itself can be unscrewed leaving you with a D-Pad type control instead. If you've got large hands you'll be able to hold the whole thing while you play it. Smaller hands might want to put it on a table top. For younger kids, maybe stick it down with some Blu-Tak as it's quite light!'Mappy' is a fun little game, where you play Mappy the Mouse who has to collect items from a house while being chased by a gang of cats. Curiously Mappy wears a police uniform, so we have to assume he's actually recovering stolen goods! The screen scrolls left / right to show the whole house, and instead of jumping up and down between levels, you bounce on trampolines and just press the joystick to hop off at different levels. You can also open and slam doors to knock your persuers down for a few seconds. But beware of one larger cat who likes to hide behind some of the objects you have to collect, and bouncing too many times on the same trampoline will break it. There are also bonus levels where you have to pop balloons in a maze of vertical passages and more trampolines - some of which you have to deliberately break to move on.It's fun, it's easy to play, it gets quicker and trickier as you go through the levels, and plays some jolly tunes along the way. Everything a great arcade game should be. It's also a lovely bit of nostalgia as it's one of the earliest arcade game cabinets I ever remember seeing other than 'Space Invaders'. Now if only they did 'Time Pilot' too...Now for the technicalities. What you're getting here is a miniature clone of the 8-bit Nintendo NES system with some microswitched controls and a small full-colour LCD pixel display. The box says 'Officially Licensed Product' and is distributed by a division of Sony of all people, but doesn't seem to mention Nintendo anywhere. It's pretty good quality and you are getting a proper screen, not a crude Game-and-Watch type LCD screen with fixed shapes being turned on and off. The NES version of Mappy is a great one and plays just as well as the arcade. You could even argue the standard portrait-oriented screen works better for this game than the original's vertical display. The thing is with something like 'Pac-Man' though, is if I was paying more, I'd expect to be playing the original arcade machine game code and have the proper vertical screen. I can't really fault the NES version of Pac-Man, but it's not going to please someone properly into their videogame history. Well, unless someone else buys it for them! The same goes for Galaga, Galaxian, Dig Dug... basically all the games that cost more than the Mappy unit. Paying £30 for a NES clone that then only plays one game seems a bit much. And frankly the NES versions you get of 'Joe & Mac' ('Caveman Ninja') and 'Heavy Barrel' are a poor imitation of the arcade originals. They look much cruder and skip a lot of the gameplay elements. They should have stuck to early 80s titles in this format.So, I'm all in favour of a miniature 'Mappy' arcade machine at £15. But as a stickler I think £30 is overpriced for the others. I'd either expect something that has a few games built-in for that price, or something that's genuinely playing the original arcade game code.

Correcto, plastico de calidad, gomas antidezlizantes malas, caja con un par de imperfecciones pequeñas y omite la "outlandish story" del cabinet original: "microwave mystery, micro mouse police!"

My kids love these tiny arcades. My son is 14 and like any teen boy is addicted to video games. He loves these old school arcade games so much he started a collection. They are pretty cool looking, fun, and seem fairly durable. It’s been dropped once or twice and still looks and works just fine. Over all I’d say these are excellent quality. The only thing I would say is a con is that there is no volume control, Only on/off.

I love it so much

Excelente mini consola, lástima que el vendedor lo mando en una bolsa de paqueteria, lo que hizo que viniera aplastada y golpeada la caja, pero la mini arcade funciona bien y se ve muy linda
